TANNED and toned, Department of Wildlife and National Parks (Perhili-tan) director-general Abdul Kadir Hashim is a sportsman – and it shows. An avid traveller, the father of three keeps fit by trekking and hitting the gym regularly.
He spent the first decade of his Perhilitan career doing field work and studying the Sumatran rhino, Malayan gaur and serow before a stint in enforcement led to him helming the Perak Department of Wildlife and National Parks. He knows the peninsula’s forests like his own backyard and, with his Aug 25 appointment as DG at age 50, the Perakian has come full circle since joining the department in 1992.
